Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch

Owners widely report the CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch as very hard-wearing, with good seconds hand alignment and perfect bezel alignment with crisp action. The lume is described as pretty good despite fauxtina, and the watch gains approximately 3 seconds per month. Some owners consider the CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch overpriced, while others appreciate its bombproof, toolish design and military heritage.

Citizen Corso

The Citizen Corso is widely praised for its attractive sunburst dial that catches the light well, its excellent accuracy of a few seconds per month, and its versatile, classic look suitable for various occasions. Owners appreciate the substantial feel of the metal bracelet, which features a matte finish on top with polished edges and includes two half links for adjustment, though the clasp lacks micro-adjustments. The stainless steel case and crystal are noted for their durability. Some owners find the 40mm case size less ideal for smaller wrists, and one critique mentioned the original leather bands were unpleasant, with another noting the case finish was too shiny. The Citizen Corso is powered by an Eco-Drive movement and offers day and date complications, with a lug-to-lug distance of 46mm and a bracelet tapering from 22mm to 20mm. Overall, owners rate the Citizen Corso highly for its value and attractive dial at its price point.
